Borders boys say hello on New Year’s Day

Kevin Janiak

Three bouncing babies were born on New Year’s Day at the Borders General Hospital – and all of them were boys.

First up at 4.26am came new Souter Jack Mitchell, of Selkirk, weighing 9lb, 7oz. Then came Sarah Bruce of Reston’s as-yet-unnamed son at 3.05pm, tipping the scales at 7lb, 4oz and Robbie Riddle of Galashiels followed close behind at 4.04pm, weighing 7lb, 5oz.
